Smaller card, bigger impact

Bigger isn’t always better. When it comes to standing out, particularly at trade shows, conferences and events, having a personalised small business card on hand is a particularly savvy move. Even though they’re just a fraction narrower than a standard card, they're just different enough to feel unique in the hand – and to stand out among more traditionally sized cards.

Practical & personalised to your needs

Slimline business cards fit easily into wallets, so customers are more likely to keep them. They can be customised fully to suit your unique business needs and are available in thick 400 gsm premium paper. Plus, you can choose between a varnished matte or a sleek, single-sided glossy finish for your desired look and feel.

Easy design process

Ready to create your mini business cards? First, explore our assortment of custom small business card designs, including industry-specific options. (Have your own design ready? Use our design upload option.) Personalise your chosen design with key details, like your business name, logo and website, and then pick the right paper stock for you. We’ll take care of the rest, and your cards will arrive looking great and ready to get noticed.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We sincerely apologize for the Small Business Cards you received. This is not the VistaPrint experience we want you to have, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We acknowledge your concern that the text appeared dull and blurry. After reviewing the submitted files, it appears the uploaded image contained text in a smaller format and included too many elements within the 85 x 40 mm design area. This likely affected the readability of the printed details. Since our printing system is fully automated, designs are reproduced exactly as submitted without manual adjustments. While the product preview shows how the design will appear, it does not display the artwork in true physical size, which can make small fonts appear clearer online than in print. For future orders, we recommend: * Using larger font sizes (ideally 10pt–16pt for key details, and no smaller than 8pt for supporting text) * Considering the balance between artwork size and product dimensions to maintain clarity * Ensuring strong contrast between text and background colors As a returning customer, we would be happy to process a complimentary replacement once you update your file. You can make adjustments by visiting your My Projects here: https://www.vistaprint.co.nz/my-account/design/projects. Once the updated design is available, please reply to this review, and we will process a complimentary replacement order for you. Your feedback will also be shared with our product team to help improve preview accuracy and ensure future uploads align more closely with customer expectations. If your request is urgent or you would prefer to speak with someone directly, our Customer Support team is available at 0800‑222‑062, or you can visit our Help Center here: https://www.vistaprint.co.nz/customer-care/help-centre/ for real‑time assistance. We truly value your input and look forward to ensuring your next order reflects the quality and clarity you expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most people, choosing a card size is a matter of personal preference. That said, there are a few things you can consider, such as picking a card size that matches your business personality. Standard cards (91 x 55 mm) are traditional and the most familiar and they complement timeless, classic card designs perfectly. Square cards (65 x 65 mm) are fresh and bold, especially popular among creative professionals interested in conveying an innovative, edgy style. Small cards (85 x 40 mm), on the other hand, are sleeker — the middle ground between classic and contemporary. While this shape adds a unique touch of visual interest, it still fits in standard business card holders.

No. Different paper stocks absorb ink differently and this may affect how your design looks when it’s printed. We recommend you consider the following when selecting your paper: Is your design predominantly dark or light? Does it feature all-over colour or simple lines and text? Then pick the paper that best suits your design and your general style.

For instance, glossy paper is a good choice if your design features bright colours or photography – the way the light hits the paper helps colour and images really pop off your card.

On the other hand, we’d recommend matte paper if your design features vibrant designs with a lot of ink – the paper absorbs the ink especially well, so your design will look all the more vibrant and rich.

Yes, but they will have a little more room around the edges.

Unfortunately, not at the moment.

Yes. You can choose from our one or two-sided printing options.
